[Heathkit] Modern VFO?

[L L bahr]

I've been thinking about acquiring a modern SS Digital VFO to drive my old Heathkit transmitters such as a DX-60, DX-100, etc. I know there are a few on the market.  What has been stopping me is the display most likely will show the output frequency of the VFO rather then the rigs operating frequency.  This kind of turns me off to the idea. 

I'm curious to know what others have done who have gone ahead of me on all this.  Right now I use crystals and old Heathkit VFOs and they are OK.  I have even built up a separate power supply for the VFO which helps out with the chirp.  I'm just thinking it would be great to have an almost zero drift VFO which shows the actual transmitters output frequency rather then just the VFO frequency. Any of you chaps doing this right now?  I'd be interested in knowing what you did.
